Gifted and Talented Program Nomination Form

Identify and Support Exceptional Learners with a Gifted and Talented Program Nomination Form

Recognizing and nurturing gifted and talented students is essential for fostering academic excellence and helping exceptional learners reach their full potential. A Gifted and Talented Program Nomination Form provides educators and parents with a structured, comprehensive way to identify students who demonstrate advanced abilities, recommend them for specialized programs, and ensure they receive the enrichment opportunities they deserve.

Whether you're a teacher, school counselor, or program coordinator, Paperform makes it easy to create professional, branded nomination forms that capture detailed information about student abilities, learning needs, and family support—all without writing a single line of code.

Why Use Paperform for Gifted and Talented Program Nominations?

Paperform is built for educators who need flexible, user-friendly forms that can handle complex workflows. With Paperform's doc-style editor, you can create nomination forms that feel personal and thoughtful, not like a generic survey. Mix headings, explanatory text, and thoughtfully structured questions to guide nominators through a thorough assessment of each student's abilities and needs.

Our conditional logic lets you tailor the form experience based on who's nominating (teacher, parent, or counselor) and the student's grade level, ensuring you collect the right information every time. Forms can be embedded directly into your school website or sent via email, and submissions automatically flow into your student information system, Google Sheets, or Airtable for easy review and tracking.

Key Features for Gifted Program Nomination Forms

Comprehensive ability assessment: Collect detailed examples of advanced academic performance, creative thinking, problem-solving skills, and intellectual curiosity across multiple subject areas.

Enrichment needs identification: Gather insights about what types of specialized instruction, acceleration, or enrichment activities would best support the student's growth.

Parent commitment and support: Include questions that help gauge family understanding of the program expectations and their willingness to support their child's participation.

Multi-nominator support: Design forms that can be completed by teachers, parents, counselors, or other educators, with conditional fields based on the nominator's role.

Automated workflows with Stepper: Once a nomination is submitted, use Stepper (stepper.io) to automatically notify the gifted program coordinator, create a review task, update your student database, and send confirmation emails to nominators—keeping your selection process organized without manual work.
